"Esquilax... as gentle as a rabbit..."

Bailey says:
mostly quite good - I've learned some things about stables in general

Bailey says:
some of these things include a) no matter which side of the pony I stand on when leading, it seems to be the wrong side by the time the instructor looks round, b) there is no effective way to discipline a pony who's being a little shit if there's someone on its back, and c) the smaller the pony, the greater the amount of dung left for you to clean out

Bailey says:
I can see the logic behind a) and b) but not really c)

James says:
How do you think the pony stayed small?

Overheard at home

Kathryn attempts to measure Uncle Daniel's height in inches using a sewing tape-measure...

Daniel: It's not long enough.

Kathryn: Turn it around, there's more numbers on the other side!


Later, looking at Louise's primary school class photo...

Daniel: [pointing at large child] Who's that fella?

Louise: DANIEL!

Daniel: What?!

Louise: That's a girl.


Daniel looks again with an appropriately repentant expression. Then composure deserts him; he snorts and falls into giggles. Bailey drops a tomato.

Several minutes pass. Daniel begins sniggering in reminiscence.

Granny (also Daniel's and Mammy Donnelly's Mammy): [reproving] What are you laughing at?

Daniel: ... This cheese. It's very funny.
